For the Jewish Child and Family Service Community of Caring Gala event that took place in the spring of 2018, Jessica says that JEM "did everything from coordinating the event logistics, and the auction, to communicating with sponsors and putting together the tribute program booklet. For the Rady JCC Sports Dinner in the spring of 2018 "we oversaw the live and silent auctions, communicated with sponsors, and also oversaw the recognition of sponsors."
Kraut notes that "When planning events for not for profits , there is a delicate balance in producing a great event while also being budget conscious, in order to maximize the dollars going towards the cause. What's special about JEM is that not only do we have the ability to co-ordinate menus, decor, entertainment and the like, but we also have the ability to be creative in helping to raise funds for the event."
"I worked with the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg for last year's CJA Campaign Kick -Off on October 10. I partnered with them to produce what was a superb event," Kraut relates.
Jessica says even in her teens she liked to plan events. " As a teenager I was very involved with BBYO. I was organizing weekend retreats and chapter programs at that time. It came very naturally to me."
Turning to the subject of corporate events, Jessica is proud to note that "We produce corporate holiday parties,customer appreciation events, golf tournaments and more. We're affiliated with a lot of excellent suppliers and vendors in Winnipeg that are always up to date with the latest trends. Our relationship with them allows us to provide better pricing to our clients.”
Jessica says that "The most efficient way to meet the event management needs of your organization or company is to have a clear understanding of the event objectives, key messages and the main theme. Once understood , the theme, matched with the event objectives will fit in with the client's identity and messaging strategy throughout the entire event experience."
In addition to planning events for not for profit organizations or corporate clients, Jessica adds that "We also love the creativity of working together with families to celebrate bar/bat mitzvahs and milestone birthdays."
